It was mentioned above. 7mm-08 is an amazing cartridge. I have taken Bear, Elk, no problem. Usually 1 shot.
Recoil is minimal. I have a bad shoulder, sore neck. The 7mm-08 doesn't bother me at all.
I use 140gr. & I'm finding out they have 150's and 158's. I haven't tried them out yet, but very happy with the 140 partitions.
I may use it on Pronghorns. But I'll go down to 120's. Still need to see how flat it shoots with 120's.
